Bernie's policies? Was he right all along?

21. I wasn't referring to Bernie. I believe you said something to the effect that the neocons in the D party maligned

Biden, and I was pointing out it wasn't just what you refer to as "neocons" in the D party, but there were members in the D progressive caucus who not only maligned Biden, but also went out of their way publicly announce that they would NOT endorse Biden and subsequently Harris in the November 5 election.

that is a similar problem that occurred in the 2016 general election, where those with that same thinking refused to vote for Hillary in the general election by either not voting or voting third party, and it didn't take much to effect the election.

The Democratic party has always been an inclusive party, and that has been its strength and weakness, and the weakness is when those within the party instead of coming together in spite of some differences, take their marbles and walk away.

The modern Democratic party since Kennedy in general has always stood for Civil RIghts, Workers RIghts, Women's rights, the environment, social security, medicare, healthcare rights, a fair minimum wage, etc. etc. etc., and there is no ambiguity on those issues where the Democratic party stands verses the republicans.
